Master Bates Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Is todays Echo headline. Overseas interest waiting in the wings. Good one from Nick Illingsworth too saying that Saints Aid is to help raise money for the STAFF and not the PLAYERS.
skintsaint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 im guessing this is from Friday/Sat dealings seeing as newspaper stories are a day old..
thorpie the sinner Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Just from the headline, it sounds like we are moving straight from plan A to plan C!!
John B Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Is todays Echo headline. Overseas interest waiting in the wings. . So the Echo knows nothing new?
norwaysaint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Hooray, yet another new thread with no actual news about anything in it! What is the ****ing point? How long before this just becomes yet another thread repeating the exact same ******** we can read on all of the other ones?
Katalinic Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Seems to me like the Echo know nothing - this is a typical hedge your bets headline - they can't be wrong either way can they? Nothing new here so lets continue to wait and see.
Frank's cousin Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 The Echo will be digging, but are not really any better off than any one one else - FRy and or the bidders will leak what is to their advantage and like us teh Echo reporters with attempt to fill in the gaps. NOt sure I believe the overseas in the wings, if Fry has set a deadline of today - (believed) as it does them no good, they are either going to bid or not. Still think its all down to proof of funds and up front deposits to keep things ticking over while the deal is finalised.
Saint in Paradise Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 It's to allow your computer to automatically refresh your computer's screen. If you're using Windows XP, this is especially handy if you're trying to keep up with current things like sports scores, the stock market, and even changes to your hard drive. Normally, changes like these aren't shown until you hit the F5 key on your keyboard. But we'll tell you how to edit your registry to make these changes automatic. First of all, always backup your registry since any mistakes in editing it can lead to serious computer problems. Now that your registry is backed up, click on Start, then Run, and then type Regedit in the Run box. Click OK or hit enter on your keyboard. Once you are in the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet / Control / UpdateMode Once you've found that location, edit the DWORD value to be between 1 and 5. Exit the Registry Editor and then restart your computer so that the changes made will go into effect.
warsash saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Graham Souness was dining in Sandbanks on Saturday night. Coincidence ? Down this way to conclude deal ? I am sure he don't live around these parts, does he ?
alpine_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Wow, Southampton Football Club (based in the town that gave you the clarity of vision, ability to sell an idea and determination to succeed as repeatedly demonstrated by Southampton City Council) embroiled in a "couldnt organise a p*ss-up in a brewery scandal" There's a real shocker....
dubai_phil Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Has Fry lost control? Has he lost the plot? Have we scaled the Pinnacle or did we get buried in a landslide? Did Jacko's group not manage to fly over the cuckoos nest? What do contractual issues mean, is it the real problem? Have we forgotten to defend the far post from a corner? What make of Vacuum cleaner did Leon use? Did Fry have Jam on his toast for his Full English? Will the Echo publish something new? For all this and more don't bother hitting F5 all day today, we won't find out

Teddy Nutkins Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Graham Souness was dining in Sandbanks on Saturday night. Coincidence ? Down this way to conclude deal ? I am sure he don't live around these parts, does he ? I'm sure one of our ex- managers lives in Sandbanks, maybe it was an ex manager's reunion.
Saints Mad Si Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Thank god Im going away today, when I come back this maybe all signed up and forgotten about as its getting a bit tedious now. Not the posts but the lack of any genuine news.
Frank's cousin Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 What make of Vacuum cleaner did Leon use? 'Henry'
St.Bart -No.1 Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 I'm sure one of our ex- managers lives in Sandbanks, maybe it was an ex manager's reunion. That's the Consortium sorted Magnificent 7 ride again !! Redknapp,Souness,Keegan,Lawrie mac,Strachan,Hoddle and Merrington :-)
Weston Super Saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Hooray, yet another new thread with no actual news about anything in it! What is the ****ing point? How long before this just becomes yet another thread repeating the exact same ******** we can read on all of the other ones? I reckon post number 6 will seal the deal
Weston Super Saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Is there anything real to suggest that today is actually a deadline for anything? Nope.
Pancake Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Hooray, yet another new thread with no actual news about anything in it! What is the ****ing point? How long before this just becomes yet another thread repeating the exact same ******** we can read on all of the other ones? Calm down.
alpine_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Calm down. Be fair, we are all getting fed up with the c*ck-swinging contest that appears to be going on within the confines of SMS at the moment...
Red and White Army Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Be fair, we are all getting fed up with the c*ck-swinging contest that appears to be going on within the confines of SMS at the moment... You wanted admin, you got it - now you can't complain about someone else being in control of our future.
alpine_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 You wanted admin, you got it - now you can't complain about someone else being in control of our future. Yes I can.

Pancake Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Be fair, we are all getting fed up with the c*ck-swinging contest that appears to be going on within the confines of SMS at the moment... Yeah, of course... but there is no need to have a go at people that post links to the Echo or other news sources. Oddly, Norway would be one of the people that should benefit most from this as he, like myself, are out of the area.
benjii Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Be fair, we are all getting fed up with the c*ck-swinging contest that appears to be going on within the confines of SMS at the moment... Chill out man, Mark Fry is bigger than Matty and Jesus combined.
Mole Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 What's the point of geting all lairy? It'll happen when it happens and no-one throwing a paddy on here is gonna change that.
alpine_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Chill out man, Mark Fry is bigger than Matty and Jesus combined. He will be if he brokers this deal (I will ignore your childish sarcasm) If he kills SFc for the sake of a couple of hundred grand, he'll find himself very rapidly more unwelcome in this city than the person who caused this mess in the first place.
alpine_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 (edited) Why? Its called my right to freedom of speech. Fry shouldnt be at this stage to get p*ssed off with Pinnacle unless they passed the proof-of-funds stage. He's haggling over the f**king price, and should be more grateful he's even got a half-decent offer Edited 18 May, 2009 by alpine_saint
Frank's cousin Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Its called my right to freedom of speech. And change your mind ;-)
Wade Garrett Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Quite funny seeing people get so agitated over stories that have been on the Echo website all weekend. Do your stamp your feet and sulk when you don't get what you want for Christmas?
Third Division South Days Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 (edited) One interesting sentence in todays Echo article. "The Echo understands that there IS enough money in the coffers to meet the wagebill commitment even if no deal is agreed prior to the players and staff getting paid." It would appear fears of the club folding this week are premature? Suggests 16million could be the cost to the buyer. Edited 18 May, 2009 by Third Division South Days

It would appear fears of the club folding this week are premature? Suggests 16million could be the cost to the buyer. Surprising if true. Also begs the question why, unless this is "new money", did the football club not just prop up the PLC if it was only a few grand over its borrowing limits? Suggests to me that someone has offered to underwrite the liabilities.

Mole Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 What, you mean someone with eurovision? Andrew Llloyd Webber?

The players union in the past has paid players wages when clubs are in administration but as SFC are not in administration who knows
Wade Garrett Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Andrew Llloyd Webber? Well done Stanley, sharp as a marble.
Third Division South Days Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Its also sometime since the likes of LC were making statements on the dire financial situation of SFC and there was no money to continue after the last match. These voices have gone very quiet. There must be funding from somewhere. Perhaps its the Bank?
alpine_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 And change your mind ;-) So what ? I'd rather change my opinion back-and-forth every couple of days than be a meek hand-wringing fence-sitter bleating about balance like some PC-addled outreach worker like you.
lee_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 There was a mention on the Englandfans forum about Southampton going bust, purely on that fact there isn't the interest....I said they were talking rubbish.....but I'm having second thoughts now.....
Frank's cousin Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 So what ? I'd rather change my opinion back-and-forth every couple of days than be a meek hand-wringing fence-sitter bleating about balance like some PC-addled outreach worker like you. must be laugh a minute in your household....
alpine_saint Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 must be laugh a minute in your household.... As opposed to banal and boring in yours ?
Frank's cousin Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 As opposed to banal and boring in yours ? Alpine before this gets silly (oops too late) teh coment about changing your mind was tongue in cheek and NOT meant as an insult in any way - afterall changing your mind IS to be encouraged. Now if you could add WHY and based on what info, it would be real progress... ;-)
SaintDonkey Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 These headlines from the Echo need an ITK ranking. Is the deal really in the balance or is the Echo just doing what we're all doing and reading things into the non-activity? I hope it's the latter. For all we know the only reason it's gone over into this week was that the man who signs the cheques had some business commitment in Russia over the weekend he couldn't get out of. I know I should be preparing for the worst, but kidding myself that it will all be all right in the end is the only thing that allows me to get on with my life rather than just sitting hitting Ctrl F5.
Wade Garrett Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 Fence sitting might not make for interesting forums, but criticising someone for waiting for the information before forming an opinion is slightly retarded. The whole argument is slightly retarded and a waste of bandwidth. A bit like the Echo website.
solentstars Posted 18 May, 2009 Posted 18 May, 2009 must be laugh a minute in your household.... i expect :partyman:hes the life and soul of the party:D like a modern victor meldrew.
